Angry and on the verge of doing something stupid!
Well, I found interesting this thread because I also look the facebook profile of old acquaintances from time to time.
I visited the facebook profile of a bully that was on my classroom once. His main photo was he in front of a very expensive sports car, smiling with that kind of "I have power" smile (very ironic smile, the same one he had when we were at school). I saw him two months ago, I didn't see him since 1994! He seems a shy person now, I didn't see that "ironic smile" on him. I smiled a lot and probably he was disconcerted because he expected another reaction from me. While we were talking I was thinking: "I'm not interested in chatting with you because I have better things to do, but I'm smiling because I was a better person than you at school and that makes me feel proud of myself". I don't forget the bullies but I don't care about them, because you know, it's their problem if when they were children or teenagers they were a bunch of idiots. I only remember them to laugh about how mediocre they were. They have prospered? Some of them yes, because this is how our world works. Losing time thinking about mediocre people? Only to feel sorry for them. Being intelligent and upright at a young age is not something they had the honour to be.
By the way, how can I know if that sports car really belonged to him? maybe he was on a sports car exhibition, maybe he is not that rich, maybe he is only "acting" because he is mediocre so he thinks being rich is how a person "prospers".
So don't trust all what your ex-bully writes or shows in her profile. Maybe her smile is fake, maybe she doesn't have true friends, only acquaintances she met once on a faint night, maybe she drinks too much when she goes out at night, maybe she thinks she is loved but her "friends" gossip about her when she is not with them, maybe she is depressed and remembers the old days, and then she visits your profile and she is sure you are very happy so she feels worse. Maybe she thinks she is happy because she has an active social life but she only deceives herself. A lot of maybes here. You know, we don't know what is going on in the head of other people, this is why a lot of men and women sell themselves on internet as being extremely happy people, they know we'll never know how their real life is.
I would ignore her. Totally.

Another cool monkey on your avatar, as always

No offense meant, BlueMax, but if you tried to find her for years, even if it may have been only now and then, I'd think she's still on your mind. Even more so when you consider how long ago that was.
In a way, your endurance is admirable! I'm the "out of sight, out of mind" type, no matter whether it was a hot affair or an enmity. After a maximum of three years I simply forget about the person concerned.

When people send you to jail you tend to remember them.
If she's had 20 years to apologize and never made an attempt to, it's not too likely you will see one. It sucks, but you have to just let it go. In relation to your story I know a neighbor (one of the nicest people you will ever meet) many years ago who was falsely accused and arrested for molestation because a young girl about 10-13 was mad at his family and went to the police with a completely false story. The charges were eventually dropped after she admitting making it up (he was too poor to fight back) but people for many years still treated him as guilty and I don't think he will ever get fully over it. I just realized too that he's almost certainly an Aspie as well given his complete obsession with collecting fish and how he monologues about it. No wonder I was about the only person who got along with that neighbor!
While I was never sent to prison or anything like that, I had people do things that are too painful to even talk about anonymously. I tried seeking an apology but soon realized they all either completely forgot about the incidents (and would think I was crazy or paranoid because no sane person could do them) or in some cases they would be proud of what they did and would look forward to attacking me again, just not physically.
It was really tough seeing the most sadistic bully of all (the guy is pure 100% evil) recently with a drop dead gorgeous wife and children as well as a role working with young children. WTF is wrong with people? The guy even looks dangerous! As Einstein would say am I or is the world crazy?
I almost didn't want to bump up this post, but I had to say thanks to you all - awesome discussion in here!
The moment has passed and I haven't thought about it much since then (mostly a conscious choice - partly just because I had "life" to deal with.)
It's not something I'll ever pursue... it would only be detrimental to myself in many ways if I did. She's gone.
Thanks again.
